Further, each local church is a church only in so far as it is the expression, in a particular place, of this new race that has come into the world through Christ Jesus. It is the mighty acts of God in Him that are the guarantee of our fellowship in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chivalry is the most delicate form of contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chivalry is the most delicate form of contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase "As pretty as an airport" appear ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23992]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase "As pretty as an airport" appear]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Big things have small beginnings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Big things have small beginnings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to take one bus trip for eight hours.

But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her time is about 4.33, which she's capable of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her time is about 4.33, which she's capable of.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Good, well-dress'd turtle beats them hollow,-- It almost makes me wish, I vow,  To have two stomachs, like a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13205]]></link><description><![CDATA["Good, well-dress'd turtle beats them hollow,-- It almost makes me wish, I vow,  To have two stomachs, like a cow!"   And lo!
